Persistent uterine inflammation in the mare has been correlated to the expression of cytokines by the endometrium. Toll-like receptors (TLR) are host cell receptors for bacterial-associated molecules and play an important ...

The complex and dynamic nature of soil makes the assessment of soil biodiversity difficult. Findings presented here form part of a wider scheme to develop ‘bio-sampling’ methods based on earthworm cast analysis. Our overall ...

Bacteria were isolated from rabbit faeces using equine caecal fluid as a growth medium. Two new isolates of the genus Streptococcus are described in terms of their biochemical properties. One of these has a 16S rRNA gene ...

Soil is a complex environmental medium, particularly with respect to its biological and organic characteristics. Analytical approaches based on specific aspects of biological or organic variation may fail to detect broader ...
